(Minghui.org) I used to have a strong personality, was very competitive, and always wanted to surpass others in everything. My life was very tiring. I had many illnesses, and often complained that life was unfair. But it all gradually changed after I started to practice Falun Dafa.
I am now free of illnesses, and look much younger than my age. When I walk around carrying my grandson, people think I've had a second child. I'm actually 52 years old.
Master Gives Us the Best
I first read the book Zhuan Falun in May 1999, but I didn't get chance to learn the five sets of exercises because the persecution of Falun Dafa started two months later. I knew that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s propaganda against the practice was all lies, but I was fearful of the CCP, and stopped practicing.
By 2003, my family's misfortunes really hit me. My husband, who didn't contribute much to support the family, had an affair, and started taking drugs. I couldn't take it, and my body suffered a lot from the stress and pressure. My health suffered and I lost a lot of weight. You could see the suffering on my face.
A friend, who practices Falun Dafa, saw me in my sorry state, and suggested that I start practicing Falun Dafa again. She said, “It will help you to become healthy, and find the meaning of life.”
I was touched. I went back home, took out the book Zhaun Falun, and started to read it.
Master asks practitioners to be good people in society, and we should consider others first in everything we do.
Following Master’s words, I tried my best to take excellent care of my family. As a result, my family's fortunes soon started to turn around. When my husband came home, I was kind to him, cooked for him and washed his clothes. When my in-laws had to vacate their rented apartment, I took them into our home and looked after them. My son became more responsible, and did well in school.
I didn't think about fame or self-interest, and did not resent my husband for his bad behavior. I put all my troubles behind me. I knew that those things in the human world are just like clouds passing in the sky, while my life had a much deeper meaning.
I longed to do as Master said - letting go of fame and self-interest. I wanted to be a good person, and follow Dafa's principles of 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.'
After practicing Falun Dafa for less than a year, my health underwent a dramatic change. I gained weight, and became healthy. My skin was soft, with a rosy complexion. I was told that I looked much younger. When people commented, I told them that it was Falun Dafa that changed me.
My family also benefited.
My husband ended his affair, quit taking drugs, and stopped going out to fool around. He even started to help me with the housework. My son married a good wife from a wealthy family, so they didn't need any financial support from me. They had a baby, and were happy together.
My husband's friend witnessed the positive changes in our family, and started to practice Falun Dafa.
As long as we want to cultivate sincerely and measure up to the standard of the Fa, Master will give us the best.
Moral Improvement
I am a nurse, and as a Falun Dafa practitioner, I try to do my job well. The management at the hospital where I work offered me a promotion to head nurse, on the condition that I stop practicing Falun Dafa. I turned them down, and was transferred to a new oncology department that the hospital set up in 2012.
All the patients in there were receiving chemotherapy. When the other nurses had problems with patients, or needed advice on issues and procedures, if the head nurse couldn't help, they came to me. The patients began to think that I was the head nurse.
The head nurse was angry, like she had lost face in front of her colleagues and patients. As a result, she often gave me a hard time, and made my life difficult.
I thought about changing to a different workplace, but as a cultivator I knew that I should put down my personal interests. I told the head nurse, “I only want to help you to get the job done, nothing else. If I were not a practitioner, I would fight with you. But I am a practitioner, so I won’t do that.”
The head nurse felt embarrassed, and became more friendly toward me after that.
I remember once when I was changing medicine for a patient, she looked at me and asked if I was married. I smiled, and told her that my son was also married, and had a child. She was surprised, and said, “But you look so young!?”
I told her that it was because I practice Falun Dafa. We engaged in a conversation while I was working with her. I told her about Dafa, and asked her to recite “Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I wished her a speedy recovery, and moved on to check on the other patients.
Sometime later, I was walking in the corridor of the hospital ward, when a person ran over wanting to shake my hand. She said excitedly: “You told me to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ to regain my health. It really works! I've recovered. Thank you so much!”
I remembered that she was that patient of mine. I told her to thank Falun Dafa's Master, and said, “It was Dafa's Master who helped you.”
